Active headrest was and is too far forward for comfort. This casues headaches for some people - incldung my wife.
Civic is a good vehicle overall, but Honda name commands a higher price with few cutting edge features by comparison to usual (Toyota/ VW /Mazda) and not so common (Hyundai / Kia / Pontiac) rivals.
Not enough sound dedening in rear - and the tire noise was obvious in all locations.
While sprty, ride was also more choippy thatn Hyundai or Toyota. Better than Mazda3, and for small engine it was responsive but no more so than Hyundai (better than Corolla but less than Mazda3)
Dealer had take-it or leave-it attitude, so we did. Hoda had not incentives and when they do they are not as attractive as most others (except VW - they hardly ever offer any programs)
